Electronics-Salon Screw Terminal Block Breakout Module, for Arduino MEGA-2560 R3.

I found this screw terminal extremely useful and made work with Arduino Mega hell easier.. I will definitely order it again and again.

Worked perfectly. A bit expensive for my poor arse. But good quality.

expensive but its nice

This is the easiest and most secure way to wire up an arduino mega. The tilt and location of the ports lets me attach and detach any wire a need even when all the ports are taken up. Full accessibility. And in the event the arduino fails, I can just pop this off, swap the arduino, and re attach. No need for pulling each individual wire. When i started my project i was using a bread board and a sea of breadboard wires. ocassionally i would snag a wire and wonder why my project wasnt functioning right all of a sudden. I got this and never looked back. They even included a power LED and a reset button so those arent covered while using this. If i was forced to say something bad, I'd mention that the RX and TX lights are covered so when you're loading your sketch onto the arduino you cant see when it has started or finished. But then again, the Arduino IDE tells you when the programming has started and stopped so it's not a big deal at all.

I wish I'd have known about this years ago, because after so many projects struggling with reliable pin connections, this thing makes life so much easier! I've gone so far as to unsolder the built-in headers on Arduino Megas and soldering screw terminals for more reliable connections -- and this accomplishes the same thing but is much easier. If you happen to blow up your Mega, this also makes it easy to swap in a new one. COST is a big factor as it's expensive, but it's so well worth it to me! It's a very high-quality part as well. CAUTION: It's not always convenient to access the screws of a terminal when the one above it has already been wired -- especially with ferrules as I prefer to use. So you will save time by attaching your wires in an order to allows access to the screws near the bottom before adding wires above them.

Using this in a KSP controller. Combine it with a ferrule kit and 22-gauge silicone stranded wire, the wiring is really straightforward and robust. Ferrules: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073TZ5BBG/ Wire: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LH1FR6M/ One thing to watch out for: You can't easily unscrew one hole if the screw is covered by the next wire, so sometimes you get into a situation where you have to remove several wires just to remove one. No big deal, and if you plan ahead you can minimize this.

A must have for projects.

Arduino boards are mostly used for development stuff, but I am using an Arduino Mega to drive some stepper motors and a lot of I/O on a foam slicing machine that I am building. The Arduino works great for this, but wiring directly to the board is kind of iffy for a permanent installation. On the last machine I used gaffers tape to secure the wires to the headers which is not a great solution! This time I purchased the Salon Screw Terminal Block Breakout Module and it is a great solution, as you now have screw connections to secure the wires to the Arduino. I like to use wire ferrules on all my wiring, which prevents stray strands of wire from causing errant connections and a lot of debugging later on, but they can block screw access to other terminals. The trick is to start wiring the lower terminals first and work your way up to the higher numbers. If you have to access a lower number later on, you might have to temporarily remove several wires to get to the one you have to change! I used 4-40 screws (3mm will also work) to secure both the terminal board and the Arduino to my backplane, so everything is nice and secure. This is a great product and I will use it again!

Great product to make Arduino reliable and easy to install in project.

Excelente producto recomendable

Before this arrived, we had some 60 individual wires running from an Arduino Mega to relays to power a home made full cover scoreboard. It was painful as a wire would pull out or be loose, creating frustration. This terminal block was the perfect solution.

Buena calidad del circuito electrónico. Lo elegí porque no sobrepasa los border de la tarjeta Arduino Mega 2560. Muy bien numerados todo los conectores con diferentes colores y sus respectivos números bien legibles

Facilitates permanent installation of Arduino into equipment. The ordination and colour scheme of screw terminals allows for easy identification. A great solution for the use of Arduino in control systems.
